Targeted at the production of medium to highly complex parts up to 13 mm diameter, the Swiss GT13 incorporates a Y-axis with eight tool positions that can work on both the main- and counter-spindle.
With identical power ratings on both spindles and a total of 30 tool positions, the GT13 has 22 tool positions on the main platen and eight in counter-operation; 12 of these positions can be rotating tools.
The machine has been equipped with a new 15,000 rpm spindle that features the company's latest motorised guide bush design. This configuration sees the guide bush sit in a special support in the spindle area when it is not required. The result is a changeover time of less than 15 minutes.
